Stanley, who was living in Tribeca, could easily walk up to the piers from his home, and spend the day outdoors. “I never left the house without my camera and film,” he says. “We would lie on a big slab of cement in the sun. Being a young gay artist, you could be there on a Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, bring a bottle of seltzer or beer, a transistor radio and hang out with your friends. The Circle Line would cruise around Manhattan. We'd wave to them, and they'd wave back. It was our world.”

Stellar has an ability to focus more on the importance and impact of the male form to art, than just glorifying the nude body.
Equality = struggle. In order to fit in, at first you must stand out. 
This is the oxymoron of queer existence, and it is depicted brilliantly and boldly in the works of Stanley Stellar.

The seeds of the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation were planted in 1968 when Fritz Lohman and Charles Leslie held a gallery show of gay erotic art in their Soho loft. In 1990 they became a foundation dedicated to preserving art which many in the art world used to destroy. Ed Cervone "Three Sailor's". Or perhaps Patrick Angus' Hanky Panky - set in an adult peep show movie house. Darold Perkins has taken an Arrow Shirt ad and turned it into an ad instead. Next in the Drawings and Prints category we particularly love Paul Cadmus; the explicit Andy Warhol drawings -- he wasn't Tom of Finland.... but much more than Campbell's Tomato Soup
